Happy Mothers Day !!!

Nathan already has a transport challenge... Right now... The transportation is the challenge.

What issues is he having now?

What issues is he having now?

Until everything is finalized and the block is put together and up to par... Everything is an issue. I think he was doing the motor swap before we get there to just be able to keep up with me...lol. Until he gets his 11's.... And that's when ill be dropping in my LDS to equal it out... Hey, tell Lindsay that the girls are going to make 100 to 150 frosting on the side cupcakes instead of the rally cake..

Oh... Now they said they'll be making a mixture of cupcakes and muffins for everyone...

Just curious, is anyone planning on going through Indianapolis on Friday or Saturday for the rally?

LDT is out on the ground with the transmission.

LDS is sitting next to it. As long as I don't wind up doing a frame off resto because I keep seeing things that need attention or replacement, I will get the M109 back together again for Haspin!

Best of luck getting her (Bella?) back together for the rally, since that is your home away from home!
I wouldn't want you to join us lowly tent dwellers.

Question:....

Is anybody bringing a bunch of fold up tables and chairs to set up under the pavilion...?

I wil be going thru INDY from South Bend I just dont know whitch day

 

[212sparky]

I might be able to get 2 and some chairs. Just depends on if we have any events going on.

 

[Durango_USMC]

gungearz,

Depending on if my better half goes I may have a couple extra folding chairs so long as they dont walk off I'm happy to let someone borrow them.

sirmrtow,

Good to know, I'm not sure when I'll be heading down, friday or saturday. But I figured maybe we can get a small convoy going from Indy. If I'm in the M1008 It'd be good to be with a few others going about the same speed. Plus I dont fully trust my transmission at the moment.

 

[gungearz]

I don't think I can get chairs but I might be able to get a couple of those 8' folding tables... If we need them. I know its always good to have extras but since I'm limited on space... If thier not absolutely needed, then I won't try to get them...

 

[Durango_USMC]

*Too many thread windows up so I made a post in the wrong spot... Still working on the M1008, may be getting a M1101 (or possibly a M101A2) to go with it but we shall see.

 

[212sparky]

One month to go

 

[Durango_USMC]

Still have a lot to do Sparky... Glad its close and angry its sneaking up so fast and my truck isnt road ready at the moment.

 

[gungearz]

Bikes are tuned and up to par, cb and dual firestick setup are installed waiting to be tuned, all the zerks I found greased, personal gear is 85% gathered, just need the odds and ends... Ordered oil filters to complete the PM on the truck, headlights swapped, insurance paid, tags are still good til Oct... Lugs are tightened, tire pressure good, roadside tools and equipment accounted for (including inner tube patches, flares, and triangles),

Still need to grab a fire extinguisher or two, drill holes in the bed rails for the tie down anchors, stich a couple of zippers on the tarp and call it a day....

So......., with 29 days left till the rally begins. How does everyone stand....?

 

[Durango_USMC]

Need to test drive to check vacuum line replacement
Gen 2 issue is still bugging me but not a huge issue (someone will have slave cables right?)
King pin repair should start tomorrow God willing I will do it right the first time

All PM s need to be done on the M35. I did install LED head lights.
S280 Is ready. Top secret mods complete.
Water buffalo still needs PM s and a wheel remounted.
Kubota Rtv just need a Quick going over.
I would say Im 20% ready.
